I have WinXP Pro and print to an HP Laserjet 5siMX printer
via an tcp/ip printer port. Printing has worked fine
until yesterday. Now I get a print failure. After
deleting the printer and tcp/ip printer port, I can
recreate the port, but cannot setup a new printer to it.
I get the error "Unable to Install Printer. Operation
could not be completed" error.
Information I do know. I can ping the ip port. My machine
is setup as a dual boot, and I can successfully setup the
printer via tcp/ip and print without error from the other
partition, so something is blocking my ability to print
from the WinXP partition. In addition, if I setup the the
printer using Netware file and print services, I can print
to that printer....but not all printers have a Netware
setup that I can use...so I need to connect via tcp/ip.
Any ideas on what could be blocking me would be helpful.
I do not ICS or XP's firewall on and I don't have any
other firewall software running.
